This has lots of follow-on advantages too: - Browser-provided UI is consistent for the user WRT the OS (see file pickers). Your app would need to guess to match the visual and interaction style. - Browsers can handle all of this with much less code on your part. The latency involved in building and sending the custom UI makes for a bad experience, and is it work you really want to be biting off for your app? - A11y, focus management, and all the rest with Just Work (TM). > On Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 3:37 AM, Alex Nicolaou <anico...@google.com>wrote: > >> A user agent defined solution will make apps like mail, chat, >> Facebook, and so on all feel awful in safari versus installing a >> native app. It's like j2me all over again unless the website can >> provide a smooth ui. >> >> Alex >> >> >> On Friday, June 24, 2011, Ojan Vafai <o...@chromium.org> wrote: >> > Is there a document that lists the use-cases for this API?
